Manchester City playmaker James McAtee is attracting interest again in the transfer market but has the opportunity to impress Pep Guardiola

James McAtee will be given the chance to play his way into Pep Guardiola's plans as Chelsea lead the pack of interested clubs watching on.

McAtee came through Manchester City's academy after joining from United's youth set-up and has been highly rated by Guardiola, making his debut for the Blues in November 2021 with a cameo that led to Gary Neville profess that City were producing 'David Silva clones'.

City are keen to see how McAtee has developed and he will be given the opportunity to impress on tour, when Kevin De Bruyne, Phil Foden, and Bernardo Silva are likely to be absent due to their involvement at the European Championship. England Under-21 international McAtee has already begun his pre-season work in an attempt to make an instant impression when the first batch of players return to the City Football Academy.

As McAtee tries to work his way into City's plans, a number of teams are watching with interest to see how the situation develops. Chelsea, who enjoyed great success in signing Cole Palmer from the Blues last summer for £42.5m, are interested in McAtee and are among a host of clubs to have already enquired with City about him this summer. New boss Enzo Maresca helped to develop McAtee during his season in the City academy and tried to sign him last year at Leicester.

There is also interest from clubs in other European leagues who can offer Champions League football. However, City aren't pushing for a sale and will give the playmaker the opportunity this summer to convince Guardiola he can be a part of the City first team.
